About Us:

We're a fast-moving startup building a scalable platform on baremetal infrastructure. Our focus is to create a Kubernetes-based solution that developers can use to deploy code to production with a push of a button—providing turnkey environments that include monitoring, backups, and full observability. We're not a public cloud wrapper; we own and operate our own baremetal cloud. You can learn more here.
